The Hello Kitty Supercute exhibit travels from Japanese American National Museum to EMP museum with an opening party Friday night November 13th, 2015 ( I’ll be there πŸ˜‰ ) and public opening on Saturday.

The figure will be available in their store ( but please check with them in terms of online sales etc ) It’s exclusive to EMP, so I will not have any to sell sorry to say.

Todd Robertson aka Mechavirus recently had a few custom Kaiju Negora for sale ( they sold out ! ) but the response was so good we’ve put up a few via Pre Order here: http://www.maxtoyco.com/shop_item.php?id=1050

You can see some pictures of previous customs .. and the cool thing is they have magnets so you can pose Negora eating the FishΒ  πŸ˜‰

Alice in MaxToyLand Kaiju Negora set

I recently had the pleasure of collabing with Shifty toy photography ( @shifty_toys ) on this special 14 piece, custom painted Negora ( by Mark Nagata ) with print, Kaiju Negora set. Inspired by the Cheshire Cat & Alice in Wonderland ! The result was this stunning photo by Shifty !!

Check out the process pics as well. The set is fully hand built with later photo manipulation. The result is a moody but fantasy filled image, with nods to Kaiju Eyezon ( see the tree hands !), and other “hidden” Max Toy figuresΒ  πŸ˜‰

I’m sorry to say that Max Toy club members bought them all ;-(

Mecha Nekoron MK3 customs and more !

Now up in the web store are these two new, one of a kind, Kaiju Mecha Nekoron customs by artist Will Long (@buildbots). These are really cool, soft vinyl figures that have been “kit-bashed”, adding details like tanks and hoses and a special weathered paint scheme. If you know Will’s work, he’s know for such attention to details and you won’t be disappointed !

And last but not least, the final Hello Kitty Kaiju figure is now on sale at the Japanese American National Museum (http://www.janm.org ) store. There was a limited release online but they are now sold out. However, you can buy one in person still but one per person. No phone orders or email saves, sorry to say. Its while supplies last and this being the last weekend of the Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary show, I don’t expect them to last too long. I wanted to take a moment to not only thank the Fans for buying this figure but to Sanrio, Jamie at JapanLA and to Maria Kwong at JANM for their help in making this possible. Many thanks to Makino-san for the perfect sculpt, to Shimizu-san in Tokyo for casting all the vinyl pieces, to the Maruyama Brothers for hand painting each one in Japan and to Yo-san the Man in Japan for coordinating all the production. In order to make one toy there are many people who do their part, so you can have something to collect. So the next time you look at one of our toys or even a toy from Target, just remember that there are humans and hard work behind them πŸ˜‰
